Membership

The Junior League of Worcester is open to women of all ages who are interested in voluntarism in Central Massachusetts.

Whether you are a recent or long-time Worcester resident, a new college graduate, in the work force, a stay-at-home mom, an “empty-nester” or even enjoying retirement, the JLW has something for you.

Although we are know for our community service, we are so much more. Very few volunteer-driven organizations provide the training and development JLW offers its members. We are one of the largest and most effective women’s networking organizations in the world! And we are connected to women across the globe.

What’s in it for me?

Junior League members gain valuable leadership training and hands-on experience in the community. We provide members with both formal and hand-on training to help you become an effective volunteer and civic/non-profit leader. You’ll have opportunities to gain such valuable skills as marketing, project management, event planning, fundraising and development, non-profit board governance and financial management.

When is the best time to join?

New members complete a new member program that allows you to learn our League structure and programs, as well as learn about our impact in the community. The program includes small group meetings, participation in a group new member project, and attendance at League functions, such as general membership meetings.

The Junior League of Worcester welcomes inquiries from new members year round. The annual new member programs (one in Fall, starting September, and one in Spring, starting late January) runs September through May. In order to become an Active Member, the new member program must be completed.
